| Comparative Thoughts - Merrill Audio Element 116 vs Veritas Class D Monoblock Amplifiiers Dr. Bump,Thank you very much for providing such a credible comparative assessment of two (apparently) very fine amplifiers (I've heard neither, so won't pretend to know just how good they truly are). It's nice to have access to a post from some... | |
| High order crossovers There is one company that I think deserves mention here:Induction Dynamics.I've only heard their two way speakers. They use a 4th order "brick wall" crossover in their speakers. My (admittedly limited) experience with other higher order crossove... | |
| Fun Adaptations to Hi Fi Looks intriguing. But I’m already satisfied with (the insanely excellent sound from both) my main rig and headphone setup, so my logical side says that buying this would be difficult to justify. Still....your write-up is quite intriguing--especial... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker "Now back to the music." -bobheinatzThat pretty much says it all, Bob. :D | |
| My first visit to AXPONA Great thread. I would particularly agree with the general concept that higher prices DON'T have a linear correlation with performance. There is certainly correlation in many cases, perhaps even the majority, but exceptions abound. For example, ... | |
| Just some ADS history here "Wasn’t one of the designers for ADS, Michael Kelly? The guy behind Aerial Acoustics now? I may have the name wrong. I use to own ADS 320i speakers for auto applications that he was the designer of.????" -slawI was told that this is the case by my... | |
| How old are your speakers Current speakers purchased new in late 2005. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I’m not current on the state of the art in loudspeakers in that price range, simply because I stopped looking years ago after finding something better than what I had been looking for. That said, JUST TODAY, I heard the (relatively) new Aerial 7T ... | |

I don’t know the full particulars with respect to my pair. I do know that they sound great with the Summits. Mine ar... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members "Yea, he might be flipping it on eBay or another site, not surprised he asked for more."I honestly hadn't thought of that. Well, at least nobody died (as far as I know, anyway). | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members I must be unique. I once posted an ad for some very good speaker cables with a sentence at the end that read something like this:Approximate quote: "Note to lowballers: GO FOR IT! This is Audiogon and part of the fun is getting stuff cheap!"I wou... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? oddiofyl said this: I should say that Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua NH is excellent to deal with and while they didnt have the speakers in the finish i wanted in stock, it was more important that I got to listen to them . They spent time with dif... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Unethical, shortsighted, and harmful in the long term. | |
| My experience with the Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S "Every time I listen to these speakers I am in awe." Isn't this what every audiophile is seeking? Congratulations. Enjoy Nirvana. | |
| The Music Room dlcockrum,Thank you. I personally think it’s borderline unethical to do what you describe as some others doing. There’s certainly nothing wrong with "window shopping" in its purest form. The problem is when brick and mortar stores are used SOLELY ... |
